[Alternate-history period setting + golden finger System + stays in the city + marriage first, love later + seven-year age gap + daily life raising a child]
After Jiang Zhaozhao dies from working overtime all night, she unexpectedly transmigrates to the capital city of Huaguo in the 1970s, becoming the daughter of a dual-income family. At last, she finds the parental love she longed for but never received in her previous life, and loses herself in the warmth of her new family.
But reality soon deals her a blow. Under government policy, she is about to be sent to the countryside as an educated youth. Neither Jiang Zhaozhao nor her parents want her to go, so they consider a few options: she could take over her mother's job, find work as soon as possible, or get married. But given the circumstances of the time, finding a job is next to impossible. After weighing her options, Jiang Zhaozhao has no choice but to choose the last one.
Unfortunately, her matchmaking efforts don't go smoothly. The bizarre men she meets leave her increasingly unsure about the idea of “marrying to stay in the city.” Just then, her golden finger, System 10089, quietly activates. With the System's help, Jiang Zhaozhao meets the newly appointed deputy director of the steel mill: a handsome divorced man with a child. The two quickly agree to marry.
At first, they are simply living together for mutual convenience. She wants the security of staying in the city, while he hopes to give his child a complete family. But as the days pass, small acts of care in their daily life gradually melt away the barriers between them. They go from polite and distant to deeply in tune with each other's feelings, and eventually walk side by side through a long life together.
